Maison Notre-Dame
Resteigne, Belgium

We have been in Belgium since 2000 thanks to an invitation from the Bishop of the Diocese of Namur. First we occupied a former Cistercian abbey at March-les-Dames, near Namur. Then in November 2007, we moved to a former convent in Resteigne, in the foothills of the Ardennes.

We try to be both a prayer presence and a house of friendship in this French-speaking area of Belgium. We are open to guests who would be interested in sharing our Nazareth life of prayer, manual work and community meals. We also offer the possibility of Poustinia, spending 24-hours in silence while fasting and praying.

Maison Notre-Dame is accessible from the highway linking Namur and Luxembourg (E411, exit 23) and by train at the Jemelle station. We are also close to Givet at the French border.
